    Class MetadataInjectionDetector

    Detects instructions injected via HTML metadata channels that agents parse but humans don't see: HTML comments, aria-label, alt text, meta tags.

    Research shows that injecting adversarial instructions into HTML elements like metadata and aria-label tags alters generated summaries in 15-29% of cases (Verma and Yadav, 2025).

    • Last chance to alter matched text before it becomes Threat.evidence.

      Evidence travels: into ScanResult, the CLI's JSON/SARIF output, audit records, and whatever the caller logs. For most detectors the matched text IS the finding and must be preserved verbatim. For a detector whose matches are themselves secrets, echoing them would leak the credential into exactly the CI logs and audit trails the scan was meant to protect. Override to redact; the default is identity.

      Sanitization is unaffected — it works from Threat.location, not evidence.
